An Orleans Parish woman has been handed a three-year prison sentence for siphoning off over $2.5 million from her employer. In a pre-Christmas court proceeding, Shavonda Chambers, a 44-year-old bookkeeper from New Orleans, faced the consequences of her inventive but illegal financial maneuvers. By submitting false electronic payroll authorizations to an out-of-state company, she redirected considerable sums into pockets that decidedly did not belong to her.
